Unfortunately the Umpires of today are part of the new generation when you tell them 'no' they get upset because mum and dad never said 'no' or they played a game where every body got a participation medal.

It is what some call the woke generation but some day they will wake up and find that world does not give you anything without hard work and set backs.

When I was an athletic official the head official once said 'we are there to support the main players and not be the center of attention so me must make ourselves invisible whilst inforcing the rule'.

    Coming from an American position that's really appropriate..

    I'm all for cracking down on umpire abuse, but this is simply not umpire abuse in my books.

    Just another stat, anyone know in the games we lost last year, did we win the Frees count or not?

    We won the free kick count against Collingwood

    We drew the count against Adelaide

    We lost the count against GWS and the Dogs.

    Thus 1-2-1 in losses.

    Or, looking at it at another angle:

    Perhaps after the third 50 mtr penalty we gave away during the first quarter, one would've thought that the players may have picked up on a trend that was evolving throughout the night whereby  the umpires might have been applying less tolerance to backchat than normal, as directed by the league.

    Instead we gave up eight 50M penalties by 3 quarter time? Anyone know how many Carlton gave away? or did they actually exercise a bit of discipline on the night?

    Maybe we are so used to getting the short end of the stick anyway the supposed "reinforcement" of rules did not sink in...

    Ah yes, the interweb; the communications array the North used in the US Civil War. Often mis truths ran through there.

    Good quote, jnr.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
